    I hate myself

    Well, I just recieved my new purple JT flex from paintball-online, so I take off the lens to just check out the mask.. BIG MISTAKE! I spent like 2 hours trying to get this god forsaken thing back on, and guess what I just did?
    Well, I had the top 3, I was trying to push the bottom three in with the handle of scissors, and all the sudden, it SLIPPED and SCRAPED MY BRAND NEW LENS! I hate these things, now I have a scratch on it, it really pisses me off. Atleast it wasnt thermal.. if you laugh I will hunt you down and stab you with a kitchen knife. I am SO pissed right now.. do you have any tips on getting these god damned lenses on? It was easier with my PMI mask.

      Umm...install the bottom tabs of the lens first...the work the lens into the goggles up to the top..then the last three on top should be easier once the bottom ones are in place. Good luck... and think of it this way..you'd buy a thermal lense anyway..why not practice installing with single lens..then buy a thermal..now you're set

      BTW... HAAAAaaa HAAAAAAaaaa (Simpsons)

        Try to avoid sharp tools when working on your mask when possible.

          Actually, KB the part of the scissors werent that sharp. It was the part of the scissors that you Hold(covered in rubber). I got it in anyway, I dont think its that deep of a scratch, but yea I did it from bottom to top and it worked better..

                    when installing the lens, intall it nose piece first. I have done this several times and takes me only a few minutes to swap lenses on my proteus. If you have problems removing the lens or need the extra leverage installing the lens, use the JT goggle tool, which also doubles as a barrel plug.

                      I can remove and replace my morph lens in about 30 seconds. Just thought I'd mention that...

                            You know that JT makes a tool to cure that problem and it seconds as a barrel plug to boot. I have never had a problem getting the lens on or off with it.

                              You beat me to it Load. Just push in 2 tabs with the lense and you're set .
